>order an extra side of "real" teff-based injera from Ethiopian restaurant (I think they sell two different breads - one that is pure teff, one with wheat flour mixed in), now understand why they mix in wheat flour and will never do that againI'm not sure if this is over-fermented or it just is supposed to be this way but it's VERY sour and tastes like alcohol I have a ton of it - some should be the normal kind maybe that will be easier to choke downI regret getting it lol but haven't gotten this kinda food in years. They do give you a good amount of food for the money - esp bread.
>>22224082if i have never had ETopian food what should i get for the first time
>>22224088veggie combo do you like spicy?most of it is going to be spicy
>>22224082I don't care that you are brown or brown obsessed. Sorry.
>>22224082Idk if i had the real stuff or not but i love that sour shitGoddamn
>>22224094its just a lot of food for the money and its pretty healthy but don't get the real injera unless you want ultra-sour bread
>>22224095you can definitely taste it, very extreme, strong fermented taste
Injera is the reason I can't like Ethiopian food. If they served their food over rice or with a non-sour flat bread I would like it. I just don't like injera. I don't particularly like San Francisco sourdough bread either.
>>22224117the normal kind with wheat flour mixed in isn't too badI'll have to taste that and compare, but memory serves it wasn't too sour, and you can just add honey or maple syrup to the food to compensateit's probably good for my digestion
>>22224117Opposite here, I always order extra. Looked into making it myself but a bit too lazy for the process.
>>22224082I've had it before, I don't know if it's the authentic or wheat flour one, but it was definitely sour though not inedible the food was fine, but I probably wouldn't have it again
>>22224138ok just tasted them bothyou can 100% taste the difference instantly, if you haven't ordered "all teff injera" you got the wheat flour kind - which honestly tastes pretty similar to sourdough but with a spongy texture and no granularity to it (I guess it's finely milled and sifted)but the real kind is much much more sour and has an alcoholic taste like teff wine in a bread, closer to vinegar than sourdough
>>22224091i like spicywhy do you recommend veggie combo over meats. are the veggie dishes just better in general with ethiopian food?
>>22224160ethiopians are poor and veggie food is much more common they also have an absurd amount of fasting days where meat is forbidden, try the lamb if they have itI got the alicha, do not recommend, just a generic mild beef stew, you want the awaze I think if you want spicy the veggie dishes are the most distinctive, I think the red lentils are the best one
>>22224082can you roll up some pastrami and mustard in injera
>>22224190yeah its just spongy sourdough it's a good general breadpastrami is too salty/smoky for meozempic has made me want meat a lot lesseven tho now it's a bit harder to fill up on protein
>>22224082>but it's VERY souryeah, it's like thatI enjoy ethiopian when I went to a restaurant, but yeah they really have a bunch of sour stuff there. Imo, I'd prefer there to be some more balance with sweet stuff too along with the meat they come with. You can only get so far with sour and fat :/
>>22224311balancing sweet and sour is the sign of the best restaurants I've noticed some restaurants refuse to add ANY sweetener to any non-dessert dishes, and it makes them gross, but then others will make some items candy sweet - think like pre-made baked beans.
>>22224082sounds teff to swallow
>>22224415Sounds like you need to go back
>>22224088doro wat
turdie thread
>>22224141that sounds good although the nearest ethiopian restaurant is 2 and a half hours away so I will not be eating it
>>22224082The teff is supposed to be sour, but when it sits for a while it will give off a strong smell and the flavor goes from mellow sour to a sharper bitter smell almost chemical like. This is common problem at restaurants and with families when you buy the injera in larger quantity. here they sell in shops a stack of fifty 18" round full teff fresh third day it will "get ripe" easy way to avoid going bad is to parchment paper a few at a time and freeze for later use. mom taught me that.. no sour injera. the further into fermentation the more it will gas you up and you get the Brraaaapp..
>>22224082Ethiopian food fucking sucks what are you doing with your life loser lol
>>22224082>order an extra side of "real" teff-based injera from Ethiopian restaurantStopped reading here. It's pathetic how hipsters force themselves to eat food from third world countries because they are simple minded enough to think it's "exotic" but in reality it's low grade poverty slop that people in those countries wouldn't eat if they didn't have to.
>>22224206Spotted the obese goblin
I had the (not sure the proper name) red chili lentils for breakfast. You definitely notice the sourness of the bread a bit less when it's paired with rich, spicy, oily stews - then it becomes a foil. I see why I haven't eaten this in years, it made much more sense when I was drinking regularly. It really does feel like I am transported to africa when I eat it though, like I can sense the famine and desperation through the food. Good thing I don't live in Africa, though I wish they didn't live here either. >>22224539pasties are low-wage povertyslop for irish and norwegian immigrants who worked in mines but people still eat a ton of them in michigan but that's white people food so you don't care
>>22224094you pretty clearly care. cope and seethe for the rest of your life lol
I like injera but it triggers my trypophobia
>>22224082who the fuck would go to an ethiopian restaurant? other than a nostalgic ethiopian
>>22224160Get a combo if they offer
>>22224128If a bunch of third worlders can make it so can you
>have you ever tried Ethiopian food?was a classic back in the day, people are actually going to ethiopian restaurants now? that bread looks good unironically
>>22224415i enjoyed this
>>22225590well you see cleetus, some people like stepping outside their mcdonalds-slop bubble and trying new things once in a while. it's what adds variety to life.
>>22224082>Ethiopian restaurantWhy does an anon on /ck/ keep spamming this?I'm sure it's just one or perhaps two people having a conversation with themselves. Nobody actually eats this and if they did, they will find it's just same, same, same. There is NOTHING unique or flavorsome about this, I don't know why OP keeps trying to fool people? Just give up.
>>22226433please stick to your containment threads and board.
